“... The most fundamental aspect of water sources development

is regulating water in order to achieve the needed quantity and

quality, which means that when there is an excess of water, it must

be drained in a timely manner so as not to cause damage, and when

there is a shortage, it must be stored in such a way that both

the quantity and quality are suitable for agriculture, manufacturing,

and consumption. The problem is that the development of water sources

may have some impact on the environment, but if there is

inappropriate water control, when a natural disaster occurs, it causes

serious damage to the economy and the livelihoods of the people,

as well as the environment.…”
